This section is intended to showcase
the state of the science with respect to the relationship between
terrestrial vegetation, fire behavior, and fire regimes. Topics to be
covered in this section include climate change and regional fire
regimes; climate, weather, and eco-hydrology as local controls on forest
vegetation; fuels, and wildfire; alternatives for fire and fuels
management; using remotely sensed data to assess post-fire ecological
effects; and predicting fire behavior and active fire characteristics.
